Additional Info

I’ve had a love affair with Forbidden Bike Company since I first laid eyes on the Druid in 2019 and I’m super stoked to finally be riding one of their bikes for the 2021 season. In going over the frame and suspension design, it’s apparent that this bike was created with a lot of thought and intention, a whip custom-built for riding in the Pacific Northwest. I really enjoy that it looks different than other aggressive trail bikes on the market and most importantly, I love the ride characteristic that the high-pivot design provides. The fact that the Forbidden folks do business just down the road from our shop makes this ride all the sweeter.
